Work demands that I learn the SPSS even though I just found out my agency is getting a new set of interns that do data entry so I might not have to do much data entry after all!
Here are a few links that I have explored:
SPSS Tools
Lots of links and info but mostly referring to SPSS 10.0 and earlier. I’m using 15.0 so some of the older links aren’t terribly useful.
SPSS Forum
Looks like a lot of questions are answered but make sure your questions are clear and concise. I see a lot of “I don’t understand your question.” It seems like obvious advice but it’s hard to clearly ask a question when you don’t know the program.
SPSS Wiki
Small amount of content. I can’t tell if it’s useful or not yet.
UCLA SPSS Resources
I’ve been using the tutorials on this site. I think they are from SPSS 11.0. So far all of the buttons and menus look similar. I like the professor’s voice in the tutorials.
So as incomplete or out of date some of these links may be, they are a hell of a lot better than paying $800 for an official SPSS training. It’s crazy how much this company banks on it’s trainings. The trainings cost more than the software!
I haven’t had luck finding a university sponsored training that I can participate in. UIC and Loyola have SPSS workshops but they are student/staff only. I even offered to pay them!
And on the learnin’ front, Edmodo got a shout out on Tech Crunch. Yay, Jeff!
